Daf Hashavua
Bava Basra 60b
(Today's Daf)
על ראש שמחתי, אר"י זה אפר מקלה שבראש חתנים
The Kol Bo writes There are
places where they don't place the ashes on the Choson's
head, because there are some
Chasanim who don't wear Tefilin (פאר תחת אפר)
---
instead, a כוס is
broken after the שבע ברכות to mourn the Churban Habayis.
This Kol Bo is the first source for breaking a כוס under the Chupa to mourn the Churban
Habayis.
The Gemoro in Brachos
where מר בריה דרבינא & רב אשי who at their son's weddings
broke
expensive cups was not because of the Churban
but to minimize excessive joy in Olam Hazeh. (ר' יונה)

The Minhag today, is that the mothers of
Chosson Kallah are the ones who break the plate at the תנאים
Perhaps the reason for this
is because the תנאים originally was done at home. The woman
of
the house brought the plate from the kitchen. Since it was in her hands she was the one
to break it. אמבצי
